In Emeril Lagasse's Career, One Recipe Stands Above the Rest

While Emeril Lagasse is known for his restaurants, his Food Network shows, and his catchphrases "Bam!" and "Kick it up a notch!," he doesn't have one specific meal attached to his name like other celebrity chefs. Some fans, however, say that his Banana Cream Pie is his signature dish.

The pie is made up of a banana custard layer over a graham cracker crust and is topped with caramel drizzles and chocolate sauce. On its recipe page on Lagasse's website, commentators note that it is not only delicious, but also challenging to make.

While Lagasse hasn't been in the spotlight for over a decade due to legal, personal, and financial issues, he is still cooking up delicious food, and fans can access his recipes on his website. An added perk on the site is "Emeril's Culinary Team," who interact with fans by answering their questions and offering cooking tips.
